Frenchman’s book on 9/11 says the Pentagon was behind the attacks

This is the land of free speech. The right of expression is limited only at the extremes of communication (your right to swing your fist ends where another’s nose begins).

As a member of the mass media and an organization that promotes reading, The Dispatch would never suggest anything close to censorship or book-banning. That said, attention is called to a new book, 9-11, The Big Lie , by French left-wing author Thierry Meyssan, who plans to promote his piece de resistance in the United States, starting with New York City, the heroic icon of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attack. Meyssan suggests that the attacks were the doings of the U.S. military and that the Pentagon was struck by an American military missile, not a hijacked airliner. All this as part of a military plot that involved waging war in Afghanistan. Even for a Gaul, that’s a lot of gall.

But expect a lot of hoopla when Meyssan comes ashore. A spokesman for USA Books says no dates have been set but major TV news shows have expressed interest. The book was widely derided in France, but it sold well anyway.
